Seams like a good buy grassroots magazine in the US fitted this to a e30 only two small mods to the car IIRC think they swopped to a remote brake res and something else, but the basic kit fittted! :D

No they used the M62 and ran it slower and with no charger/intercooling they got 180bhp but that was with no cooling and just a rising rate fuel pressure reg, so not very advanced.

Ive got the PDF's of there build at dads house, but can't find them now :(
